FireFox 260 Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) Hi,Take a look at the _InetGetSource and the _String*/String* functions.This website might have a web API which should be better for your need Br, FireFox.

guinness 1,517 Posted July 28, 2013 You can use _INetGetSource with API I linked to. Don't forget it's for non-commercial use.

bird42 1 Posted July 29, 2013 Don't worry it's just for personal use;) My basic knowledge let me write this script: expandcollapse popupOpt("TrayOnEventMode",1) Opt("TrayMenuMode",1) HotKeySet("{esc}","ExitScript") $1 = TrayCreateItem("Go!",-1,-1,1) TrayItemSetOnEvent(-1,"_go") TrayCreateItem("") $a = TrayCreateItem("About") TrayItemSetOnEvent(-1,"_about") TrayCreateItem("") $e = TrayCreateItem("Exit (Esc)") TrayItemSetOnEvent(-1,"ExitScript") TraySetToolTip("IMDB lookup") Global $result[7] While True ; Forever Sleep(100) WEnd Func _about() TrayTip(" IMDB lookup","Script Function: Retrieve a movie's infos from IMDB",10) EndFunc Func exitscript() Exit EndFunc Func _go() For $i=0 to 6 $result[$i]='not found' Next Local $title = InputBox('IMDB lookup','Please enter movie title') Local $dummy If @error Then MsgBox(0,'ERROR','Invalid parameters') SetError(0) Return 0 EndIf StringReplace($title,' ','+') TrayTip('Working...',$title,30) Local $response = _INetGetSource('http://mymovieapi.com/?title='&$title&'&type=json&plot=none&episode=0&limit=1&yg=0&mt=none&lang=en-US&offset=&aka=simple&release=simple&business=0&tech=0') $dummy=_StringBetween($response, '"title": "','", "filming_locations":') If Not @error then $result[0]=$dummy[0] Else SetError(0) EndIf $dummy=_StringBetween($response, '"year":',', "country":') If Not @error then $result[1]=$dummy[0] Else SetError(0) EndIf $dummy=_StringBetween($response, '[{"runtime": ["',' min"],') If Not @error then $result[2]=$dummy[0] Else SetError(0) EndIf $dummy=_StringBetween($response, '"genres": [','], "rated"') If Not @error then $result[3]=$dummy[0] Else SetError(0) EndIf $dummy=_StringBetween($response, '"writers":','], "imdb_id"') If Not @error then $result[4]=$dummy[0] Else SetError(0) EndIf $dummy=_StringBetween($response, '"directors": ["', '], "rating_count":') If Not @error then $result[5]=$dummy[0] Else SetError(0) EndIf $dummy=_StringBetween($response, '"actors": [','], "also_known_as":') If Not @error then $result[6]=$dummy[0] Else SetError(0) EndIf _ArrayDisplay($result) EndFunc I believe there is a better way to extract the data from the json string, but the json udf i found seemed a bit too complicated for me. Any suggestions? 1 coffeeturtle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
